Published: 2024 Call Number: 636.089 Format: Books Summary: "An intimate account--the first from a trail veterinarian--of the canines who brave the challenges of the Iditarod. Few events attract as much attention, or create as much spectacle, as the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race. Each March, despite subzero temperatures and white-out winds, hundreds of dogs and mushers journey to Anchorage, Alaska, to participate in "The Last Great Race on Earth," a grueling, thousand-mile race across the Alaskan wilderness.

In the tradition of Why Elephants Weep , this is an intimate look inside the animal mind--and a thrilling new account of a storied contest"--
